Backstory

The history of Adam & Eve is nothing short of amazing. Our birth goes back four decades, when a Harvard graduate and Peace Corps veteran name Phil Harvey, along with partner Dr. Timothy Black, began promoting birth-control devices through non-medical channels.

Phil combined his natural business savvy with expertise gained from earning a Master’s degree in Public Health Administration from the University of North Carolina. Encouraged by the public’s positive response, Phil explored ways to provide American adults with carefully selected material by mail. Thus, the birth of our parent company, Adam & Eve.

The natural progression for the company was to begin to open retail locations throughout the United States. Through franchising, we have been able to provide communities with an upscale specialty boutique that has served discerning couples, women and men for nearly 10 years.

Our goal is to have 400 retail locations by the year 2025. Download Our Franchise Kit now to learn more about our franchise opportunity.
